RiscPC: New computers for the Acorn fans
The one or the other perhaps remembers the RiscPCs based on ARM/StrongARM processors built by the Acorn company. The manufacturer changed some years ago its name to Element 14 and abandonned the further develoment of its desktop computers. The rights for the operating system "RiscOS" now belong to the company RiscOS Ltd.

RiscOS compatible computers are produced by smaller independant British manufacturers like Castle or MicroDigital.

As OSNews report, is on the "Midlands RISC OS Show" the iyonix PC sold for the first time; priced at 1299,- UKP it offers the following features:

  • Totally new motherboard design
  • 80321 XScale 32-bit ARM processor. This processor runs at 600MHz and is a system-on-a-chip, containing all the necessary interface electronics for things like PCI under the hood.
  • RISC OS 5 in FlashROM (Rewritten for 32 bit, equivalent to RISC OS 4.02 with added fun including updated font manager with unicode support and new icon set too)
  • 128MB 64-bit DDR RAM for high speed access at 200MHz
  • UDMA 80GB Hard Drive
  • Support for industry standard interfaces:
    • 2 64-bit PCI slots, 2 32-bit PCI slots
    • 4 USB 1.1 sockets
    • 2 RS232 serial ports
    • 10/10/1000baseT networking port
  • Dedicated high performance graphics card, nVidia GeForce2 MX400 (up to 2048x1536 in 16 million colours)
  • CD quality 16-bit Soundblaster support
  • CD-ReWriter (48x speed)
  • 240 Watt PSU with two near-silent fans
  • Wide range of bundled 32-bit software: Writer+ (word processor with enhanced Word import and export), Fireworkz (spreadsheet with Excel import and export), Oregano 2 (web browser), Messenger Lite (email client), PDF (for reading PDF files), Zool (game), CDBurn (CD writer).

Amiga Complete without Software for Tax Clarifications?
Andreas Just:
I got the following mail from Fa. Olufs yesterday (shortened):

Your update of the income tax program for 2002 is ready. All legal changes including the tax effects of the Riester pension. The self-printed forms are of good quality and the price has not been changed.

[snip ...]

Note to Amiga and Atari customers: we had to shutter this enterprise, but you'll have a lot of joy with the Windows version.


On the homepage there is no direct notice given, except that no updates are available for Amiga. It is such a shame to lose another program. (ps)
